How Do I Leave a Bequest?

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."Winston Churchill

​When you leave a gift in your will, it offers opportunities for advancement in technology and research. Many of the items used in surgery are not financed through the healthcare system. Technology developed by surgeons and researchers at the Australian Craniofacial Unit enables exact, full sized 3D replicas of patients' skulls to be produced from CT x-ray scans.

These nylon models are invaluable during pre-operative planning. Craniofacial surgeons and other specialists can study the precise size, shape and malformation of the skull before surgery without the need for patients to be present.

Prostheses and implants can be manufactured and fitted onto the nylon model ensuring precision. The duration of surgery is often reduced, resulting in benefits to the patient and savings for the health care system.If you would like more information please download our bequest booklet or telephone our office to have one sent out to you.
